Just a question out of curiousity:

Is there a way to messure the total time a process have had since it started(Total processing time, total processortime).

To explain better: if there is four processes running they will share the processor time between them. Lets say that each process gets 1/4 of a second of processor time each second. The lifetime (start to end) of the process would be 1 second * seconds_running. The processtime(start to end) would be 1/4 * seconds_running.

This above defines processtime. (So we all know what we are talking about here right? )

Now. If we could get the processtime, this would make better performance checking, since any other operation I did on the computer won't be accounted for. A performance check using a timeGetTime and the pseudo timeGetProcessTime would differ in result. Say I have my movie player running while doing the timeGetTime performance check, the result would totaly suffer! Now with the timeGetProcessTime checker the result will always be accurret, even if I played my movie in check 1 and didn't in check 2!

I know you can get processtime somehow, because you can see it in the Task Manager->processes->CPUtime.

Well, last time I responded to one of your threads, you simply called me an idiot, so perhaps I should be very careful when I think of suggesting to such a genius that he look at the documentation of the GetProcessTimes() API function and see if what he wants is there.
